> Abstract:
> 18 Borrelia isolates, obtained in 1996-1997 from {*filter*} Ixodes ricinus collected
> from plants in the environs of Stavropol', were identified with the use of the
> polymerase chain reaction and the analysis of the polymorphism of the length of
> restriction fragments. Among them, in addition to B. garinii and B. afzelii,
> widely spread in Eurasia, 2 recently described species, B. valaisiana and B.
